The HP singer was presented the award for Songwriter of the Year. Maluma proudly took the stage and thanked the Latin performers who have paved the way for him and shared a message for other musicians on the rise. “I know I’m young, but I’ve worked hard," he said via Billboard. "I’m a hardworking dreamer who wants to show new talent that it’s possible (si se puede).” Natalia, who has been with the singer since 2017, was a proud girlfriend.
